The FlexPro 50, from Groninger, is a modular filling and closing system designed to process vials, cartridges, and syringes, as well as vials in bulk and trays. FlexPro 50 lines can be executed with manual or fully automated process steps. Nested vials, cartridges, and syringes can be processed on one line configuration by changing format parts. Additional flexibility is given by exchanging the machine trolleys to process vials in trays or in bulk in the same line configuration. 
The FlexPro 50 can produce an output of up to 4700 objects per hour. The isolator works independently of a facility’s HVAC system. Gloves on the front and back of the main and add-on isolators allow machine access from both sides. The new Direct-Injection-System reduces the decontamination cycle by approximately 50%. The line can be changed to process different products in around two hours.
